About this document
Understanding Stem Cells and Their Roles by Jatin is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Stem cells are cells that can make copies of themselves and differentiate into specialized cell types. Scientists can obtain stem cells from embryos, tissues in the body, fetuses, umbilical cord blood, or by reprogramming specialized cells. Embryonic stem cells can differentiate into all cell types, while neural stem cells can differentiate into brain and skin cells. Stem cells in the body replace dying cells and are investigated for their potential to treat diseases.
